King Snakes Against RattIers.

Coferville iMiss.) Letter to the N. o. Picayune.l
D. B. Racket a colored man living ten
miles east of this place, came into town
yesterday accompanied by his son, and
pretty soon marvellous snake story was
floating around. Dan, the elder, with his
son had climbed the hillside near their
cabin to chop wood, bat after giving few
strokes on two small hickory trees near a
large rock both were startled by hearing
terrible kissing and rafting immediately
In their rear, and on turning about had
perceived fifteen or twenty rattlesnakes of
all sizes crawl from under the rock.
run, Tom, TO- de Lord, run," yelled
old Dan, as he threw down his ak and
dashed down the hill with his son imme-
diately behind him. After going about
fifty yards both had stopped, and after
some five minutes spent in discussing the
situation agreed to go back far enough to
get "peep at de raItlers." SO cutting two
stout sticks to inspire confidence they
again crept up the hill, but on coming
within sight OF the rock not snake was to
be seen, and old Dan was just rubbing his
eyes to look again when his son yelled,
Hi yil the kings hab got 'em, dad" On
looking around Dan perceived four large
king snakes approaching the holes in the
rock, and now commenced peculiar bot
tie. The king snakes approached the holes
carefully, but when about to enter were
viclously struck at by the rsttlers, who ex
posed their heads only for an instant in
making the strike.
What followed can be best told in the
negro's own words: "Wbeu dem four kings
seed dey couldn't git in de holes without
bein bitten, dey consulted, sab, an den two
of EN- went to one hole an two of EN- to
another. One king would sit up close and
lay still, den the other would make the old
rattler strike at him and de fust one WOuld
nab i'm and choke i'm to death. Den dey
would drag i'm out an go ter another hole.
Dey kept dis scshun up, sab, until leben
grown rattlers was lynn on de groun dead /;
den dey left" This was the old negro's
story, ard as one "king" has been known
to kill three rattlesnakes in open battle 1t
is generally believed.

THE ANARCHIST CASE.
General Pryor Finally Decides to Taks

General Pryor Finally Decides to Take
Charge Of the Matter.
CHICAGO, September 23.-Gen. Roger A.
Pryor was quoted in yesterdays dispatches
as saying that be was undecided Just what
form Of appeal he would take in the Anar.
chist case, but that he should attack the
constitutionality of the Illinois law regard
ing the construction of the Jury. This
law has been in operation since 1874 !" said
Gen. Pryor, "aDd has not yet been passed
upon by the Supreme Court" 81 have
nothing to say about the matter" Mr..
Grinnen replied with his usual urbanity to
q reporter who ventured to ask him what
he thought Of Gen. Pryor's views on the
Jury law. ~ have already said that the
Anarchist case cannot be carried into the
United States Supreme Court on any pre-
text whatever" "The eonstitutionslity of
of the law has never been called in ques-
ton before" said Judge Jameson. II
have not read the full report of the Su-
preme Court decision in the Anarchist
case. It may be that exceptions were taken
during the trial before Judge Gary on this
point. III such exceptions were taken to
the Supreme Court it certainly acted upon
them. If no such exception was taken
during the trial the point cannot now be
raised, as the United States Supreme
Court will only consider such points NJ
were raised during the trial of the case.
The act itself is the law under which all
our juries were drawn, and If at soma fu-
ture time ii should prove unconstitutional,
it would, OF course, have very widespread
influence upon Illinois courts in general.
IL is certainly vital point" Melville W.
Fuller said that 1t was impossible to tell
from the dispatch exactly what defense
Gen. Pryor would make. He had looked
up the laws of 1874 and could find moth
ing to base an opinion on"

NEW YORK, September 22.-Capt. Black,

at the Office of Gen. Roger A. Pryor at IL
O'Clock this morning 10 present the case OF
the condemned Anarchists to the lawyer,
with q view to carrying the case to the

had said that he would not commit him

until he was made thoroughly acquainted
with IL. The consultation lasted until AS
O'Clock. When Capt. Black came out from
the lawyers sanctum, his face was wreath
ed in smiles. He would only say, however,
ST have won Gen. Pryor over. having ex-
planned everything to his satisfaction, and
convinced him of the business of our side"
Gen. Pryor said: 81 am convinced that

error win be granted. do not see how
the application can be refused, and we
shall not lose a moment in carrying the

When Norton Was n Democrat.
New Albany Ledger.

The Indianapolis Journal refers in
sneering manner to the fact that Gov. Gray
left the Republican party n 1872, and in.
Inmates that it was because he was disaD.
pointed in not receiving Office at the hands
of that party. Gov. Morton left the Demo
cratic party very suddenly and very sud-
denly after having been defeated
in Democratic convention, be-
fore which he was a candidate for
Congress- Why he left the party he
never satisfactorily explained; ex.
cept that In his race for Lieutenant Gov
ernor on the ticket with Henry S. Lane in
1860, he claimed that he was still Dsm)-
CT at and that the party had left him.
And, by the way, has the Journal noted
the singular fact that when a man leaves
the Democratic party he always claims to
be a simon pure Jeffersonian, Jacksonian
Democrat and that the party has left him?
They are evidently ashamed of having de-
serted. But it is different when man leaves
the Republican party. Like Gov. Gray, he
comes 70 us on an issue, jumps boldly on
to the Democratic platform with both
feet and ever thereafter STAYS there. Gov.
Gray had excellent company when he came
over. There was Sumner, and Greeley, and
Trumbull, and whole host embodying q
large part of the brains of the Republican
party. They came over on an issue it is
useless to discuss here and now, but it is a
live issue yet. The Democratic party
went into power on 1t twelve years after it
was made up and proposes TO stay there.

ABOUT ADVERTISING.
BEAD this TO Yourself. and then to Your
Customers.
Printers Review

Read this TO Yourself. and then to Your
Customers.
Printers Review.
My s0n, there's nothing on earth 50 mys-
teriously funny as an advertisement. The
prime, first, last, and all-the-time object of
an advertisement is to draw custom. 1t is
not, was not, and never will be designed
for any other human purpose. SO the
merchant waits till the busy season comes,
and his store is so full of custom he can't
get his hat off, and then he rushes to his
printer and goes IN for advertising. When
the dull season gets along, and there is no
trade, and he wants to sell his goods 80
bad be can't pay his rent, he stops adver-
Using. That is, some of them do; but oc-
casionally a level headed merchant does
more of it, and scoops in all the business
while his neighbors are making mortgages
to pay the gas bill. There are times
when you couldn't stop people
from buying everything in the store il
you planted cannon behind the door, and
that's the time the advertisement is sent
out on its holy mission. It makes light
work for advertising, for chalk sign on
the sidewalk could do all that was needed
and have half holiday six days in week;
but who wants to favor an advertisement?
They are built to do hard work, and,should
be sent out in the dull days, when a custo-
mer has to be knocked down with hard
facts, and kicked insensible with bankrupt
reductions, and dragged Ein with irresisti-
BILE slaughter of prices, before he will spend
q cent.
That's the aim and end of advertising,
my son; and if you ever open store, don't
try to get them to come when they are al.
ready sticking out of the windows, but give
them your advertisement right between
the eyes in the dull season, and you will
wax rich. and own fast horse aud per-
haps be able to smoke a cigar once or twice
a year. Write this down where you'll
fall over it every day. The time to draw
business is when you want business, and
not when you have more than you can
attend to already.
